Before the team reached home to participate in a Halloween parade, the bus dropped off Hall at her car at a rest Jitop on the Garden State the way up, Hall had left hdrcar there so she could at-1 tend a coaches meeting in Kgg Harbor to select the Cape-American League all-star team.

"I brought the trophy with me just toshow them why I was late by five minutes," said Hall, whose team, the. only one from South Jer-j sey to win a state title, lost Saturday, 4-1, to Immaculate Heart Academy in the Tournament of Champions in Edison. Hall's top six singles players Regan Campbell and Alethea Desro-siers and the doubles teams of Allison Brewer-Lauren Anzalone and Katie Jackson-Joanna Newdeck earned first-team honors. Facing Ramapo, which had knocked out the Panthers in last season's state semis, was what Middle Township had counted on all season. Hall kept an eye on the team all year, looking for scores and getting scouting reports.

"1 figured they'd be there, and I figured it was going to be us again," she said. "If they'd been upset some-where along the way, I'd have been, like, 'Who are we playing The team Middle Township is playing now is Vineland, for the Cape-Atlantic title. The Fighting Clan, the American Division winners, play the Panthers, the National winners, today. On Wednesday, Middle Township will try one last time to play No. 1-ranked Cherry Hill Fast for the Moorestown Tennis Classic title.

Running strong. Eastern's Karl Savage has been, if nothing else, consistent this season. This is how the senior has done in all his major races this fall: second at the Lake Forest (Del.) Invitational; fourth at the Bull Run Invitational in Hereford, third at the Shore Coaches Invitational's Division A race in Lincroft; second in Division 3 of the South Jersey Open at Kingsway; fourth at the Camden County Open at Camden County College, and then second at Friday's Olympic Conference championship at Gloucester County College.

"She knows where the ball should go and makes great decisions on the court." East finished its season Oct. 28 with a 15-7, 10-15, 154 defeat of Camden. It concluded a hot streak for Lenahan, who over the last four games had a 97 serving percentage, including 18 aces, and 57 assists. "We played our best volleyball of the year, and she was responsible for it," said Gurst. Cherry Hill West won the Olympic American, while Woodrow Wilson claimed the Olympic National.

Milestone. Forgive Moorestown field hockey coach Joan Lewis for not being aware that she was approaching career win No. 300. "I have a hard enough time keeping the win-loss record during the regular season," she said. On Thursday, Lewis did reach that milestone with a 4-1 defeat of host Cinnaminson in a Burlington County League Liberty Division game.

"I've just been very fortunate to have a lot of very good athletes go through my program," said Lewis, who has directed the Quakers to 11 state titles in 11 state-title-game appearances. A reporter called last week, and together with Lewis' husband figured out that 300 was coming around the bend. "I thought I was around 280, but I didn't think I was that close," she said. Lewis, who has been the head coach at Moorestown since 1979 and was an assistant from 1974 to 1978, has no plans to stop. She is looking forward to coaching her daughters Sara, a member of the freshman team, and Amy, a fourth grader.

"We've got a ways to go," said Lewis. If you noticed that there isn't a first-place finish in there, well, you have company. "He's running very well, actually. The only thing he doesn't do is win races," said his coach, Don Estel. "He's beaten all these guys.

He just hasn't beaten them all at one time." Savage, the captain of Eastern's team, has won all but two of his dual-meet races. To his credit, while he does concede it bothers him, Savage takes it all in stride. "We kid him about it. He takes our kidding very well," said Estel. "He would very much like to do it.

Any kid would. Any kid would love to win a big race, and he's right there all the time. But I don't think he lies awake at night not sleeping, thinking about it." Friday's race was a close call. After leading from the start, Savage was caught by Triton's Matt Ruhl near the end. Ruhl won in IS minutes, 43 seconds six seconds ahead of Savage.

Savage has been doing speed work lately so he can kick at the end of races and, hopefully for him, pull one out. Savage, for one, thinks it will pay dividends. "Now near the end of the race, I can keep up with everybody," said Savage, who earned all-South Jersey honors last year. "In the beginning of the year, I just started to die." "Who knows?" said Estel. "Maybe he's waiting for a much bigger race." No better setter.

While Cherry Hill East's Heather Lenahan probably isn't the best volleyball player in the Olympic Conference, there might be no one more valuable to her team than the Cougars' 5-6 setter and outside hitter. Lenahan, a senior tri-captain, led East to a 10-8 finish in the Olympic American, including a 104 conference record. Coach David Gurst calls her a coach on the floor for the Cougars, who used only three seniors in their 10-deep rotation. "She's a great setter.
